Cardi B turns self in to police after fight
Cardi B surrendered to police Monday in New
York, according to NBC Channel 4 News. The rapper will not be arrested but will be ordered to appear in court for her role in an August strip club fight.
The rapper turned herself in at the Flushing precinct in the New York City borough of Queens before 10 a.m. Her face was covered by several umbrellas as she left a vehicle and walked inside; she did not respond to reporters’ questions.
Sources told TMZ that Cardi will be charged with ordering an attack on two bartenders, sisters Jade and Baddie Gi, at Angels Strip Club in Queens on Aug. 29. The women reportedly were injured but declined medical treatment.
Cardi, who performed at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park on Saturday, will be charged with two misdemeanors alleging reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
The sisters say Cardi thought Jade had slept with her husband — Offset, a member of Migos, which was performing at the club that night — and ordered her staff to throw bottles and chairs at them. They also say Cardi threw at least one bottle at them. A source close to the rapper described the attack as “spontaneous” and said it began after someone threw a drink. Reps for Cardi and the sisters’ attorney, Joe Tacopino, declined Variety’s requests for comment.
